FREE FROM PERSISTENT BITES

CARLOS A. MACHADO

Last year, toward the end of the summer, I began to have a problem with bug bites. Although I didn't see any bugs in my house at first, in a matter of days I had dozens of little bites all over my body. After a week or so, I started finding fleas on my cats as well.

This was not something that I thought of praying about at first. I wouldn't have even known where to start. So I bought every bug-repellent product I could get my hands on to spray the house, the yard, and the cats. But as weeks passed, the situation with my bites was not getting better. In fact, one weekend when I went on a cabin trip with my girlfriend and some friends, it even got worse.

Here in the middle of the woods and away from home, I would wake up every morning with dozens of fresh bites and my first thought would be, "I am so uncomfortable; I itch everywhere!" Adding to this, whenever we would go hiking, it seemed that I would end up with bites from every creature in the forest. What really got my attention, however, was that I wasn't noticing anyone else complaining. Was I the only one being attacked?
